Wag the Dog

1. How does Wag the Dog reflect the idea of mass media constructing of reality?

Mass Media is so powerful that mass people are influenced by the mass media. Mass people don't investigate what is true or false though it becomes impossible.
Movie is the one of the most impotant mass media nowadays because movie has its own language by which mass people can understand what they see in the movie. The movie " Wag the Dog" reflects the idea of mass media constructing in a way that the movie has the greatest idea how media can dominate or influence the peolpe. We see in the movie how the present president of the U. S. A get rid of sex scandal before election by hiring a film producer to make a movie as a news about fake war against Albenia then we also see peole become so concerned in the news. Then people forget about president's sex scandal and poeple like his contribution in the war. I think people get more important issue than before what they were concerning about. People dont get the right or wrong information but people get biosed. The president understand that what people's psychology. So it is how mass media construct reality and influence people.
